The Final War of a Great Empire"The official history of the Habsburg empire in the First World War ought to enjoy a better reputation than it does."- Sir Hew StrachanIn August 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in response to the assassination of their heir to the throne, declared war against Serbia. Their army was multi-national and multi-lingual. Backed by Germany and opposed by an alliance between Russia, France, and Great Britain, the conflict would plunge the entire world into five years of brutal warfare.Started just after the Great War ended and completed only one year before the start of the Second World War, this is a comprehensive history of the final conflict of an empire that only half a century prior had been among the most powerful in Europe. With Russia never completing an official history of the Great War, and Italy, Romania, and Serbia's official histories unavailable in English, this is an invaluable and essential resource for any student of the Eastern and Italian Fronts of the First World War.This volume contains full colour facsimiles of all 27 leaflets and 56 sketches accompanying Volume 1, covering the outbreak of war to the Battle of Limanowa-Lapanow.

Nothing I have read about that barbaric time has been as affecting as this gripping, disturbing book - rightly hailed a masterpiece' Daily Mail'So here is my invitation: enter into my fate, imagine that you are twelve, that the world is at war and that nobody knows what is going to happen next...'It was 1941 when the German army rolled into Kyiv. The young Anatoli was just twelve years old. This book is formed from his journals in which he documented what followed.Many Ukrainians welcomed the invading army, hoping for liberation from Soviet rule. But within ten days the Nazis had begun their campaign of murdering every Jew, and many others, in the city. Babi Yar (Babyn Yar in Ukrainian) was the place where the executions took place. It was one of the largest massacres in the history of the Holocaust. Anatoli could hear the machine guns from his house.This gripping book is the story of Ukraine's Nazi occupation, told by one ordinary, brave child. His clear, compelling voice, his honesty and his determination to survive guide us through the horrors of that time. Babi Yar has the compulsion and narration of fiction but everything recounted in this book is true.'Extraordinary' Orlando Figes, Guardian'A vivid first-hand account of life under one of the most savage of occupation regimes... A book which must be read and never forgotten' The TimesThis is the complete, uncensored version of Babi Yar - its history written into the text.

Erst Schloss, dann Konzentrationslager - die wechselhafte Nutzung der weitläufigen Anlage in Prettin könnte verstörender nicht sein. In dem essayistischen Bildband treten fünf Kurfürstinnen, die im Schloss Lichtenburg Ende des 16. bis Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts residierten - Elisabeth von Brandenburg, Anna von Sachsen, Hedwig von Sachsen, Anna Sophie von Sachsen und Wilhelmine Ernestine von der Pfalz -, und fünf Gefangene des Frauen-Konzentrationslagers Lichtenburg aus der Zeit von Dezember 1937 bis Mai 1939 - Amelie Pellin, Lina Haag, Olga Benario, Lotti Huber und Wald-Frieda Weiss - in einen imaginären Dialog über Motive der Ausgrenzung Andersdenkender. Die zehn Frauenschicksale aus der Vergangenheit zeigen, dass Diskriminierung und Verfolgung zu allen Zeiten ein relevantes Thema war und bis heute ist.Die Porträts werden durch Illustrationen und Beiträge verschiedener Autor*innen wie Kunsthistoriker*innen, Hinterbliebener u. a. ergänzt und vertieft. Mehrseitige großformatige Fotostrecken des Fotografen Matthias Ritzmann dokumentieren die Diskrepanz zwischen Renaissanceschloss und KZ-Gedenkstätte.Das Buch zur gleichnamigen Multi­media-Installation von Petra Reichenbach im Schloss Lichtenburg in Prettin.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine evoziert binäre Deutungsstrategien, die in Schwarz/Weiß- bzw. Gut/Schlecht-Zuweisungen münden. Vor allem die >westlich< orientierten Länder betrachten ihr Wertesystem als angegriffen. Auch wenn sie offiziell nicht Kriegspartei sein wollen, de facto sind sie es: Sie haben den Krieg zu ihrer Sache gemacht. Die Ziele der ehemals betriebenen Entspannungs- und Friedenspolitik lösen sich in einer weitreichenden >Zeitenwende< auf. Doch kritische Analysen zu diesem Krieg und dem diesbezüglich herrschenden Diskurs sind bisher wenig präsent und vielfach unerwünscht.Mit dieser Problematik setzt sich der jüngste Band des Duisburger Instituts für Sprach- und Sozialforschung (DISS) kritisch auseinander: Die Beiträge unterschiedlicher Provenienz analysieren den Einmarsch Russlands in die Ukraine vor dem Hintergrund hegemonialer Weltordnungspositionen und untersuchen, inwieweit er tatsächlich als weltpolitische Zäsur gesehen werden muss. Neben der Rolle und Verantwortlichkeit der drei Kriegsparteien wird nicht zuletzt vor dem Hintergrund des eskalierenden Konkurrenzkampfes zwischen den USA und China darüber hinaus untersucht, welche Rolle China im Ukraine-Krieg einnimmt und wie sie von westlicher Politik und westlichen Medien gedeutet wird.

Ordeal by Sea, first published in 1963, is the moving account of the World War Two-era cruiser U.S.S. Indianapolis and her crew. On July 30, 1945, after delivering parts for the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan at the U.S. base at Tinian, the ship was torpedoed and sunk by the Japanese submarine I-58. The Indianapolis disappeared beneath the surface of the Pacific in a mere 12 minutes. Of 1,196 crewmen aboard, about 300 went down with the ship. The remaining 900 men faced exposure, dehydration, and shark attacks while floating in the water; there were few lifeboats and almost no food or water. The Navy learned of the sinking when survivors were spotted four days later by the crew of a PV-1 Ventura on routine patrol. Only 317 crewmen would survive in what remains the worst single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy. Author Thomas Helm served on the Indianapolis before the war and conducted numerous interviews with surviving crew to prepare the book. Included are 16 pages of photographs and a complete list of the crew and their fate. (Note that this print edition does not contain a later addition by Capt. William Toti, USN, who discussed efforts to clear the name of Indianapolis Captain Charles McVay.)

At Close Quarters: PT Boats in the U.S. Navy, first published in 1962, is the official Navy history of Patrol Torpedo (PT) boats during World War II. The book opens with a look at PT boat design and construction, naval activities in the Philippines and the evacuation of MacArthur from Corregidor (conducted via PT boat by the book's author, himself a PT skipper), followed by chapters on PT activities in the Pacific (including the Aleutian Island campaign), plus the Mediterranean and English Channel theaters where the PT boats faced Italian and German boats of similar design. The role of PT boats in support of the D-Day landings in Normandy is also discussed. This new edition is profusely illustrated, fully indexed, and contains all the appendices found in the original book. With a Foreword by John F. Kennedy, At Close Quarters remains the authoritative work on PT boats in the Second World War.

No Bugles for Spies chronicles the formation and important missions of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. The OSS, created in 1942, was the first centralized agency of United States for both the civilian and military intelligence community. The mission of the OSS was to collect foreign intelligence and to sabotage enemy war efforts. Maintaining espionage, analysis, and research forces, the OSS acted as a clearinghouse for information gathered from human and signals intelligence sources. At its peak, the agency employed 13,000 men and women.Before World War II and the formation of the OSS, the United States employed only small, select intelligence forces within the military. The Army had the Signals Intelligence Service, a surveillance and cryptanalysis force, and the Navy had its own intelligence service. Despite the recognition by national leaders that peacetime intelligence was a strategic necessity, the War Department's G-2 Intelligence Division was ill-equipped to analyze and disseminate the intelligence information it received from military operations.The outbreak of World War II in Europe prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt to press for a more centralized and capable national intelligence service. In 1941, with the aid of representatives from the British intelligence community, Roosevelt and his advisors drafted a plan for the creation of a new United States intelligence organization. William J. Donovan was appointed as the first director of the OSS. Following the war, the OSS was disbanded, but, in the face of growing Cold War-threats, the Central Intelligence Agency was formed a short-time later.This edition includes a new Preface by Steve Chadde and photographs illustrating the activities of the OSS.

Back to Mandalay, first published in 1951, is noted correspondent Lowell Thomas's engaging account of the Burma Campaign in World War II. Led by British General Orde Wingate, the book describes the formation of the Chindits - troops specializing in operations in Japanese-occupied territory - and his innovative tactics and approach to war including the use of gliders to transport large numbers of troops. Sadly, Wingate was killed in a plane crash in India in March 1944 at the age of 41. Included are 2 maps and 53 pages of illustrations.

Five Down and Glory, first published in 1958, is the authoritative record of America's top fighter pilots from the early 1900's through the Korean War. Beginning with a definition of the term "ace," the book details the exploits of the Lafayette Escadrille in France, the Flying Tigers in China, the Eagle Squadron in England, pilots of the U.S. Navy and Marines, the 8th Air Force in Europe, and finally, the action in the air over Korea. Included are extensive Appendices of Medal of Honor aces, lists of aces in each conflict and other details of the most successful fliers. Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs. Author Gene Gurney (1924-2011) served more than 60 years in the U.S. Air Force and NASA and was the author of numerous books on aviation history.

Der Band Rückschau 04 ist kleinen- (Brigade), kleineren- (Abteilung/ Bataillon) und kleinsten- (Kompanie) und daher oft vergessenen Heerestruppen gewidmet, die überhastet aufgestellt und an der Südfront zur Abriegelung der sowjetischen Angriffsoperationen nach der Schließung des Kessels um Stalingrad eingesetzt wurden.Vom Einsatz der Panzer-Abteilung 138 ist das Kriegstagebuch überliefert. Es ist Zeugnis des Kampfes im Winter 1942/1943 an einer Front in Not. Zum Fallschirmjäger-Bataillon z.b.V. 100 existiert ein Zeitzeugenbericht.

Amid 150,000 people, the author re-meets an old schoolmate at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Dedication in Washington, DC, and what unfolds is a love story between two unlikely people; Mike, a veteran of 173rd Airborne Brigade and Ranger medic / LRRP, haunted by his time in service, and Martha, a successful NYC entrepreneur and designer with a client list of fashion superstars. Through their 3003-day journey, Martha eloquently describes their effort to recover Mike's "lost" self as he is diagnosed with PTSD, as well as her own recovery after the loss of their child, poisoned by Agent Orange. Now, Martha's clients are dying of AIDS. Martha tells the story partly through Mike's letters, from the early romantic stages, and after the couple is married when Mike re-ups in t he USArmy. Through their letters, it becomes both of their stories, A Double Memoir, true story.

Als Ergänzung zu meinem 5-bändigen-Gesamtset der Buchreihe Organisationsgeschichte der deutschen Heeresartillerie im II. Weltkrieg - Artillerie als Heerestruppe, möchte ich hiermit die Organisationsgeschichte der Heeres-Flak-Artillerie vorstellen.Band 1 (17a) bietet einen Gesamtüberblick, in Band 2 (17b) wird die Heeres-Flak-Artillerie-Abteilung 312 behandelt. Diese Abteilung gehörte kriegsgliederungsmäßig zur 3. Infanterie-Division (mot.), welche 1943 in Stalingrad unterging. Nach Neuaufstellung der Division als 3. Panzer-Grenadier-Division wurde auch die Heeres-Flak-Abteilung 312 neu aufgestellt und der Division unterstellt.

" «Depuis un siècle, au moins, les Allemands n¿étaient plus maîtres. Ils faisaient figure de petites gens réduites au crédit des voisins, courbées sous une férule de régent.Ils s¿avouaient de pauvres lourdauds éternellement stériles qui, incapables de jamais rien produire, devaient toujours se tenir au service,à la discrétion des Anciens,de leurs voisins plus intelligents et à des livres de classe. Ils ébranlaient le monde du tonnerre victorieux de leurs armes; leur science, leur technique, leur industrie envahissaient l¿univers: les plus privilégiés d¿entre eux cependant languissaient dans une servitude misérable. Oui, leurs chefs commandaient à des armées monstrueuses, à des forces et à des trésors sans nombre; et, touchant la vie intellectuelle, affinée, ils érigeaient la soumission aux idoles des temps morts en dogme patriotique."
